LONDON, June 1.

A REVIEW of the year's work in the colonial empire, accompanying the Colonial and Middle Eastern estimates, states that it is true there have been serious disturbances in Palestine and local troubles in several of the West Indian colonies, but if all the populations of the territories in which the disturbances occurred are added together, they amount to some 3,000,000, and the other colonial dependencies in which public security has been undisturbed embrace a population of about 56,000,000.

In contrast with the disturbances in so many other parts of the world, the history of the colonial dependencies in the main has been one of constructive and peaceful development.
